Trump

Daily Beast - Donald Trump responded to President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the election race Sunday by angrily attacking his former opponent and baselessly claiming he “never had COVID.” After immediately reacting to the news by trashing Biden as “the worst president in the history of our country,” the 2024 GOP nominee continued the flaming in a fusillade of posts on his Truth Social platform. “Does anybody really believe that Crooked Joe had Covid?” Trump wrote in one. “No, he wanted to get out ever since June 27th, the night of The Debate, where he was completely obliterated.” Biden announced his decision to drop out Sunday afternoon, describing his withdrawal as being in the “best interest” of his party and the country. The announcement, which came while the 81-year-old recovered from COVID at his vacation home in Rehoboth, Delaware, was reportedly a surprise to many of his staffers who weren’t told of Biden’s decision until one minute before the news was made public.

Daily Beast -  Donald Trump leaned back in his golf cart, his son Barron at his side, drinking in the attention of his followers. Handing two notes to someone off-camera from a roll he tucked back into his left pocket, he opined in that distinctive Queens accent, in a video obtained earlier this month by The Daily Beast, “That means we have Kamala.

“She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic,” Trump said. “She’s so fucking bad.”

So bad that Trump has done more than to take two notes off a roll for her. In fact he donated a total of $6,000 to her campaign for California attorney general in 2011 and 2013. The 2011 donation was for $5,000, when then-New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman hosted a fundraiser for the newly elected Harris. Her campaign initially accepted the money, even though Trump had begun spreading a racist lie that Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

This being Trump, the donation of course had purpose. Schneiderman had launched an investigation into for-profit colleges when he took office at the start of 2011 and he had subpoenaed records for the already defunct Trump University that May. That was the same month that Schneiderman reportedly asked Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to help him widen his social and political connections. The couple is said to have held a breakfast for him.
